St. Charles police on Wednesday were investigating two armed robberies that reportedly occurred within minutes of each other late Tuesday. Police said a man entered the White Hen Pantry, 2400 E. Main St. at 11:26 p.m. The offender displayed a handgun and announced a robbery, but was interrupted by a customer who came into the store, police said. The offender left the store without any money and ran north. Shortly thereafter, at 11:32 p.m., police responded to the Days Inn, 100 S. Tyler Rd., after it was reported that an undetermined amount of money was stolen in an armed robbery there by a man who fit the description of the store burglar.
